I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was, footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need

Oh yea-ay (hey-hey-hey, oooh)

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin', 'We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'
Sing it to me, now

(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need
Ooh baby, yeah, ooh

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy
And, man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'
I said to him

(You can't always get what you want) well no!
(You can't always get what you want) tell ya baby
(You can't always get what you want) no
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, mmm!
Mmm! you get what you need
Ooh yes! Woo!

You get what you need
Yeah!
Ooow, babe!
Ooh, yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Say it!

(You can't always get what you want) yeah!
(You can't always get a-what you want) ooo-yeah, baby!
(You can't always get a-what you want)
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

kenney9226

Baby it’s been fun, though I am disgusted of what I have found
Can’t you see you hit me like a meteor
---- cycle of love
Now it’s just a swirling down ----
The temperatures ---- long ago
I cannot get it up, oooh

kenney9226

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that,
No I won't do that.

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard,
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end.

And some nights you're breathing fire.
And some nights you're carved in ice.
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy.
Oh it's crazy and it's true.
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning.
As long as the stars are burning.
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there till the final act.
And I would do anything for love,
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact.

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight.

And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that!

And some days I pray for silence,
And some days I pray for soul,
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll!

And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be.
There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning.
As long as the fires are burning.
As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And you know it's true and that's a fact.
I would do anything for love,
And there'll never be no turning back.

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, no, no, I won't do.....

Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Oh, down beside that red firelight;
Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat bottomed girls,
You make the rockin' world go round.

Hey
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad,
But I knew life before I left my nursery,
Left alone with big fat Fanny,
She was such a naughty nanny!
Hey big woman you made a bad boy out of me!
Hey hey!

I've been singing with my band
Across the water, across the land,
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while.
Take me to them lardy ladies every time!

(C'mon)
Oh won't you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside your red firelight,
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!

Hey listen here,
Now I got mortgages on homes
I got stiffness in my bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality. (I tell ya!)
Oh, but I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure.
Heap big woman you done made a big man of me!
Now get this!

Oh, (i know) you gonna take me home tonight (please)
Oh, down beside that red firelight
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE!

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrificeNo sacrificeIt's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstandin'
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy hurts

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate world
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you
On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweler's hold

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

kenney9226

GloriaYou're always on the run now
Runnin' after somebody
You've gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
Before you start to blow it
I think you're headin' for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
You really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Or the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

GloriaDon't you think you're falling?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody calling?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hanging on the line
Calling Gloria

GloriaI think they got your number
I think they got the alias
That you've been living under
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
Or the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

GloriaHow's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line?
Or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money?
Take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away
Don't believe it's coming back soon
And you really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Or the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

GloriaDon't you think you're falling?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody calling?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hanging on the line
Calling Gloria

GloriaI think they got your number
I think they got the alias
That you've been living under
But you really don't remember

This is the second David Byrne song I didn't know about, that I've heard today.

We listened to so much Talking Heads when the kids were little, we got sick of them!

Better than kids stuff in the car.

OK, now all yell that I didn't post a song.

(Daughter danced so much at the talking heads concert we went to when I was 6 or 7 months pregnant with her, that she didn't move at all the next day and I had to go to the doctor to make sure she was OK.)

WE LURV YOU TOO! Dork!!!
No greater love is lost than that not shared.

kenney9226

I can't get rid of you
I don't know what to do
I don't even know who is growing on who, (yeah, yeah)
'Cos everywhere I go you're there
I Can't get you out of my hair
I Can't pretend that I don't care - it's not fair

I'm Being punished for all my offences
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame

You're really growing on me(Or am I growing on you?)
You're really growing on me
(Or am I growing on you?)
Any fool can see

Sleeping in an empty bed
Can't get you off my head
I won't have a life until you're dead
Yeah, you heard what I said

I wanna shake you off but you just won't go, ohh
And you're all over me but I don't want anyone to know
That you're attached to me, that's how you've grown
Won't you leave me, leave me alone

You're really growing on me(Or am I growing on you?)
You're really growing on me
(Or am I growing on you?)
Any fool can see, ahhhhhhhhhhh

kenney9226

You can't abide my showing fatigue
When you come home just to relay
All the events that made your heart bleed
And the ones that ruined your day

We're not as close
As everybody thinks
In the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice
Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice!

So many issues we should address
'Cos our lives just don't correlate
All the emotions that we suppress
Bite our tongues until it's too late

We're not as close
As we used to be - you and me
In the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice
Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice!

Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice
Love on the rocks
You'd do anything for a quiet life
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks with no ice

Iceback

Laugh and say I'm green
I've seen things you'll never see.
Talk behind my back
But I'm off the beaten track.
I'll take on anyone
Ain't scared of a bloody nose,
Drink till I drop down
With one eye on my clothes.

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

Love Reign O'er me.

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
An assault my defenses systematically fail to withstand

'Cause you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be-all and end-all

Love is only a feelingDrifting away
When I'm in your arms I start believing
It's here to stay
But love is only a feeling
Anyway

Oh, the state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved
I had seen, I had touched, I had tasted and I truly believed

That the light of my life
Would tear a hole right through each cloud that scudded by
Just to beam on you and I

Love is only a feelingDrifting away
When I'm in your arms I start believing
It's here to stay
But love is only a feeling
Anyway, anyway

Love is only a feelingDrifting away
And we've got to stop ourselves believing
It's here to stay
'Cause love is only a feeling
Anyway

kenney9226

Baby, everything has fallen into place
My life is so exciting now I've got my space
Like a splash of water on my face
Lately I'm doing what I can do to pleasure me
I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
I'm satisfied in my own company

I don't need your permission
To take this matter in my own two hands

'Cos I'm holding my ownGive or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through

Lady, all we seem to do is talk about
We take apart and analyse our ins and outs
Honey, I would rather do without

kenney9226

I can't see you, mamaBut I can hardly wait
oh To touch and to feel you, mamaOh, I just can't keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Ooh, it's got me running and I just can't brake
So say you'll help me, mama
'Cause it's getting so hard, ooh

Now I can't keep you, mamaBut I know you're always there
You listen, you teach me, mamaAnd I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Ooh, you ain't going nowhere
No, I won't hurt you, mamaBut it's getting so hard, ooh

Now I can't see you, mamaBut I know you're always there
You taunt, you tease me, mamaBut I never, never, never can keep away
It's the heat and the steam of the city
Ooh, got me running and I just can't brake
So stay, don't leave me, mama
'Cause it's getting so hard, ooh

kenney9226

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Aint no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your kiss

You gotta not talk dirty baby
If you wanna impress me (ah ah ah)
You can't be too flirty mama
I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy
And maybe (baby) you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We can have a good time

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Aint no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your kiss

Think I'd better dance now
(La la la)

Women and girls rule my world
I say they rule my world
Act your age mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You gotta leave it all up to me
My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Aint no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your kiss
